It looks like someone has successfully ported a Nexus S Android 2.3 Gingerbread to a Galaxy S. It’s not completely ported yet since a lot of major functionalities don’t work such as voice, wifi, etc…etc… But this is a good sign that it will eventually lead to custom ROMs users can download onto their Galaxy S phones.
Give it another 2 weeks, I bet we will have some
Samsung Fascinate has been spotted in the wild, seems like some Verizon stores (or Walmart probably) have them in stock. Anyways, it doesn’t look all that different than a Samsung Vibrant.
My guess is that the only difference between the Samsung Fascinate and Vibrant is the network (CDMA/GSM) plus the fact that Verizon will probably load Skype Mobile on it.

Download Samsung USB driver for 64-bit systems
On 32-bit Windows, Linux, and Mac, you might not need this driver and ADB drivers from the Android SDK should work fine. (I think…)
Like Sprint’s Samsung Epic 4G and T-Mobile’s new Samsung Vibrant, (man, I am having hard time even remembering these names now) Verizon will be launching their own Samsung Android smartphone, the Samsung Fascinate.
This certainly is going to be exciting for Verizon Wireless because they are already launching Motorola’s new Droid X (which I am actually playing with right no
